Changelog

An injury-shortened season counts for less

Each season now counts in proportion to the games a player actually played, so one short, injury-hit year no longer drags down a proven player. Missed games are still priced, through availability.

Long track records are trusted more

Players with more than 20 games of history are pulled much less toward their position's average, so a long record counts for what it is.

This season counts from week 1

The season in progress now counts from the first week, growing with every game played, instead of waiting until week 8 and then moving every price at once. Rookies start from their draft slot and move toward how they have actually played.

Availability measured against weeks played

Games in the season in progress are now counted against the weeks played so far, not the full season, so a healthy player is never priced as if he had missed half the year.

Find your next dynasty league

A new League Finder lets you browse open leagues — fresh startups, orphan franchises, and single open seats — filtered by the things that actually matter: superflex, TE premium, team count, dues, and a parity score that tells you whether one manager wins every year.

See everything before you commit

Every listing opens to full disclosure pulled from the live league, not a sales pitch: the complete settings ruleset, the commissioner's track record, an ownership-attributed trophy timeline, and — for an orphan seat — the exact roster you'd inherit, its multi-year cap sheet, and the draft picks that come with it.

Save a search and get alerted

Set your filters, save the search, and we'll check once a day and alert you the moment a new league fits — no more refreshing. A dedicated page lets you rename, toggle alerts on or off, or delete any search, and reopen it in the Finder with one tap.

Share any listing

Drop a listing link into a group chat or social post and it unfurls into a rich preview card — headline, league DNA, parity, and open seats — so the leagues worth joining sell themselves.

Apply and track exactly where you stand

Apply to a seat in one tap and watch your application move through a transparent pipeline — Submitted, Shortlisted, Offered, Confirmed — instead of staring at a silent "request pending". Withdraw anytime before you accept.

A seat is confirmed only when it's real

When a league has dues, your seat locks in the instant your payment clears — confirmed off the real payment event, never on a promise — so "confirmed" always means you're actually in.

List your league and scout applicants

Publish a listing straight from a league you run, then work applicants on a scouting board built from their real career history — shortlist the ones you like, extend an offer, or decline, all from one console.

A track record that speaks for you

Your history now travels with every listing: payouts paid on time, manager retention, seasons completed, and post-season commissioner ratings — so a well-run league looks like one before anyone asks.

Verified career claims

Link a Sleeper history to your profile and we corroborate it against the platform — counting the seasons you actually played and the championships you actually won — so a track record is something you can prove, not just assert.

Report and moderation

Anything off — a misleading listing, an abandoned league, spam — can be reported in a couple of taps, and a moderation queue lets the team review reports and pause a listing until it's sorted.

Review before you send

Every trade now ends with a review step: see exactly who gets what, each team's cap after the deal, and any conditions attached — then confirm. No more firing off a proposal by accident.

Conditional terms that actually stick

Conditions you attach to a trade — pick upgrades, sweeteners, cap swaps — now travel with the proposal every time. If a term can't be settled automatically, we tell you before you send instead of dropping it silently.

Withdraw or revise a live offer

Changed your mind? Pull back a pending proposal, or reopen and re-send it with new terms — the assets come out of escrow automatically. Revising your own live offer no longer means starting over.

See the cap years ahead

The review projects each team's cap space for the next five seasons, so a backloaded contract can't look free today and wreck you two years out. Traded draft picks are counted in the season they'll actually sign.

Trade review, front and center

Reviewing a trade opens a focused, centered window instead of a cramped side rail — two rosters side by side, readable at a glance. Team pickers now show full names and avatars, not two-letter codes.

Cap space that matches the rules

Every cap figure in the trade builder now measures against your team's real cap — rollover and commissioner adjustments included — so the number you see is the number the league actually enforces.

Draft picks counted honestly

Rookie-pick cap holds now land in the season the rookie signs, and every future pick you own or trade is reflected in the right year's projection instead of quietly haunting the wrong one.

Broadcast-style draft board

The desktop draft room gets a broadcast makeover: a dominant pick clock, an on-deck strip that shows how many picks until yours, and a live headline ticker — all over a full-width board that follows the clock and lands each pick with a highlight.

Know your league at a glance

Each settings category now opens with a plain-language summary of how it's set — "$633 cap · 4-year max contract · 5% annual raise" — that updates live as you change things, so you always know the shape of your rules before you dig in.

Dialogs that match your theme

Windows across the app — trade review, draft confirmations, commissioner controls — now follow light and dark mode correctly instead of forcing a dark panel onto a light screen.

Sharper, more legible surfaces

Fixed contrast and color issues on the trade and analytics screens so the numbers that matter — salaries, cap space, position tags — read clearly in both themes.

Meet the Capr fox

Capr. has a mascot: a snarling ice fox with a crumpled dollar bill clamped in its fangs — nobody touches his cap space. The new mark is now the app icon on your home screen, the launch splash screen, and the logo across the landing page, sign-in, and sign-up.

Theme-aware logo everywhere

The fox adapts its outlines to light and dark mode instantly, and the iOS startup image hands off to an identical in-app cover for a seamless launch.

Roster redesign

Contending-tier chip and expiring-contract count in the header, position groups with live cap spend, Final-yr and value chips on every contract, and a contract runway view — your whole cap picture without leaving the roster.

Matchup-aware lineup editor

Lineup editing is now a ledger with a formation strip and a guided fixes banner: locked players, empty slots, and better bench options are flagged with one-tap swaps — tap-to-swap and game locks preserved.

Player card overhaul

A stat hero with sparkline, PPG, week and season ranks, and price-vs-market verdict up top; Overview, Performance, Contract, and History tabs below; and a dynamic action dock that only offers the moves each contract actually allows.

Performance trends & rank heatmaps

Game logs graduate into a weekly trend chart with boom/bust chips plus per-season rank heatmap strips, so hot streaks and dud stretches jump out.

Full transaction history

Every signing, extension, restructure, tag, trade, buyout, and release now appears in a career ledger with the cap consequence of each move — buyouts are correctly distinguished from releases.

Free agent value board

Sort by value, PPG, age, or name; a bid advisor suggests ranges from player worth and rival cap room; and trending-up + under-24 stash shelves surface targets you would have missed.

Smarter trade builder

A live deal scale shows which side is winning the value, a persistent cap rail previews both teams' space after the deal, and the review step reads back the whole trade in one sentence.

My Trades inbox & outbox

Offers to you and offers you sent are now triaged separately with asset previews, age indicators for stale offers, and two-tap withdraw.

Capr Market portfolio lens

The market page adds a league value index, a my-players filter, per-position movement chips, and contract-equity callouts on every row.

Live win odds & path to victory

The matchup hero now shows win probability, projected finals, and players yet to play, with slot-by-slot duels, a cap-efficiency duel, and a lineup audit that catches points left on the bench.

Weekly recap magazine

The weekly report is a full league magazine: scores with blowout and nailbiter tags, standings, power rankings, the week's trades and waivers, playoff odds from thousands of season simulations, and awards including Value MVP and Worst Contract.

Clearer contention tiers

Tiers are renamed Juggernaut, All-In, Riser, Architect, and Rebuild with distinct dark-mode-safe colors, and factor scores are now posture dials that read win-now vs. future lean instead of grades.

Fairer factor scoring

Every factor is measured against the rest of your league excluding your own team, fixing deflated scores in small leagues, and Strategy now gives personalized recommendations tied to your actual anchors and picks.

Cross-league player holdings

Your career profile now shows every player you roster across all your leagues with an exposure percentage, concentration warnings, and per-player average cost — tap your @handle anywhere to get there.

Duplicate contract fix

A race in auction awards could occasionally create the same contract twice. Awards are now atomic and idempotent, a database constraint makes duplicates impossible, and existing duplicates were cleaned up with caps recomputed.

Market values for custom formats

Leagues with non-standard sizes now fall back to the closest 12-team pricing curve instead of showing zero player worth in trades and rosters.

League tiers & global rankings

Managers now climb tier bands from Prospect all the way to Immortal, alongside an absolute global rank across every Capr. manager ordered by career points.

Championship rings & prestige frames

Finishing top of the leaderboard now unlocks exclusive seasonal championship rings and career-only prestige frames — permanent bragging rights that follow your dynasty.

Hall of Fame museum

All-time records, signature players, and immortalized dynasties are preserved season to season in a dedicated Hall of Fame.

DVOC cap-efficiency dashboard

Dynasty Value Over Contract grades every contract against its CAPR Price, so surplus steals and overpaid anchors are obvious at a glance across the whole league.

Max Points For

Weekly optimal-lineup efficiency with color-coded cells surfaces lineup mistakes — and quietly exposes anyone tanking for draft position.

League-wide power rankings

Power rankings now score every roster on real value rather than vibes, updated as the season plays out.

Cap simulator

Stage cuts, trades, extensions, and restructures to preview the exact cap hit before you commit a single move.

Real-time cap dashboard

Every roster's cap space, dead money, and rollover is now monitored live — the whole league's books, always current.

One-click league import

Bring an existing league straight into Capr. from Sleeper, MFL, League Tycoon, or Excel/CSV — rosters, contracts, and cap history mapped for you, no manual re-entry.

Mobile-first landing redesign

A faster, swipeable marketing landing built for one-handed mobile use, now fully adaptive to both light and dark mode.

Vercel Analytics & Speed Insights

Real-time page analytics and Core Web Vitals monitoring are now active in production. Performance regressions will be caught before they affect your league experience.

Performance tracing for core operations

Cap recalculations, trade executions, waiver processing, and auction bid awards are now instrumented with Sentry performance spans. P95 latency is tracked per operation so slow queries surface immediately.

Structured server logging

All major server-side operations now emit structured JSON logs with timing data, enabling faster diagnosis of production issues via Vercel log drain.

Automated dependency vulnerability scanning

Every pull request now runs npm audit against high and critical CVEs as a required CI check. Dependabot is configured to open weekly grouped PRs for patch and minor updates.

Startup environment validation

The server now validates all required environment variables at boot time and fails fast with a clear error if anything is missing, eliminating silent misconfiguration issues in new deployments.

Cap glossary tooltip rendering fix

Fixed a React hooks ordering bug in the cap glossary tooltip component that could cause inconsistent rendering when a glossary term was not found.

Team build modifier on draft picks

Picks are now automatically adjusted based on the original team's strength. Rebuilder picks get boosted up to +25% and contender picks are derated up to −25%, using a composite power score of win rate, points scored, and cap usage.

Power ranking badge on picks

Every pick in the trade calculator now shows the original owner's record and a color-coded tier badge (Contender, Competitive, Mid-Pack, Rebuilding, Teardown) so you can see pick quality at a glance.

Dismissable alert system

Commissioner alerts are now typed by severity (critical, warning, info) with individual dismiss and 7-day snooze controls. Dismissed alerts live in a collapsible drawer and can be restored at any time.

Roster over-limit lockout

Teams exceeding the active roster limit are now blocked from making roster moves until they cut down. The commissioner dashboard shows a dedicated widget with per-team cut requirements.

Time travel mode

Test leagues can now rewind or fast-forward to any point in the season. Commissioners can simulate offseason transitions, score entry, and waiver processing at arbitrary dates.

Active roster limit enforcement

Waiver claims and free agent signings now check the active roster limit (starter + bench only) instead of total roster size, so taxi and IR slots no longer block pickups.

Deduplicated waiver wire

Players with multiple terminated contracts no longer appear as duplicate entries on the waiver wire. Only the most recent contract is shown.

Streamlined league home

Removed the full-width cap standings table from the league dashboard for a cleaner layout. Cap data is still accessible from the dedicated Cap Hub pages.

Role-based API route protection

All commissioner-only API routes now use a unified withCommissioner wrapper with CO_COMMISSIONER co-manager support. Expanded the protected routes manifest from 4 to 12 endpoints.

Cross-league data isolation

Trade finder and all league API routes now verify league membership server-side, preventing authenticated users from accessing other leagues' data.

Co-manager permission enforcement

New requireTeamAccess helper enforces VIEW_ONLY, ROSTER_CONTROL, and CO_COMMISSIONER permission levels on every team-scoped endpoint — not just in the UI.

Score override authorization

Manual score entry endpoint refactored to use the standard commissioner wrapper with full audit logging for every override.

Trade list updates automatically via Realtime subscriptions when other teams propose, accept, or counter trades.

Trade finder filters

New filter bar on trade block suggestions — sort by match score, need, or activity, with position-specific filtering.

50% faster draft page load

Draft room and auction board are now code-split with dynamic imports, cutting initial page weight by ~300 KB.

Mobile persistent cap bar

Always-visible cap bar on mobile during auctions shows budget, cap used, active bids, max bid, and slots filled at a glance.

Cap health color coding

Consistent traffic-light system across draft boards: green (>30% remaining), amber (15–30%), red (<15%).

Keyboard-navigable auction tabs

Full WAI-ARIA Tabs pattern on the mobile auction board — arrow keys, Home/End, and proper focus management.

Cap health scoring

New holistic cap health algorithm that factors utilization, dead cap, roster size, contract distribution, and future projections.

Cap rollover tracking

Teams now carry unused cap space forward between seasons when rollover is enabled in league settings.

League cap standings

Full-width standings widget on the league dashboard showing every team's cap utilization, health score, and dead cap.

War Room quick link

One-click access to the cap simulator directly from the league dashboard KPI cards.

Optimistic bid placement

Bids appear instantly in bid windows with automatic rollback if the server rejects them.

Real-time bid windows

Bid window and slow auction hubs now sync via debounced Realtime subscriptions instead of polling.

Anti-snipe protection

Slow auctions auto-extend deadlines when a competing bid arrives within the snipe window (default: 1 hour).

Binding nominations

New setting for slow auctions: when enabled, a nominating team's opening bid is binding — they win if nobody else bids.

Redesigned sidebar navigation

Six focused nav groups — Home, Roster & Trades, Cap Hub, League, Offseason Hub, and Commissioner — replacing the previous four-section layout.

Offseason phase indicator

Prominent phase badge with deadline countdown in the sidebar, replacing the old text-only pill.

Commissioner nav section

Dedicated commissioner navigation group with shield icon and pending-action count badge.

Skip navigation link

Keyboard users can now skip directly to main content on every page.

All text, borders, and interactive elements updated to meet 4.5:1 (text) and 3:1 (non-text) contrast ratios in both light and dark modes.

Full keyboard navigation

League creation templates

New first step in league creation: choose from pre-configured templates that auto-fill scoring, roster, and cap settings.

Getting started checklist

Interactive checklist on the league dashboard guides new owners through their first roster view, cap check, free agent browse, and transaction.

Welcome modal for new teams

First-time team owners see a friendly welcome modal introducing their league and key features.

Enhanced league join preview

Richer league preview card on the join page showing season, team count, status, and settings at a glance.

Simple / Advanced settings toggle

New commissioners see a streamlined settings view by default. Toggle to advanced mode for cap escalation, rollover, and floor controls.

Inline setting tooltips

Hover any cap-related setting to see a plain-language explanation of what it does and how it affects your league.

NFL game-day schedule model

Trade and roster locks now use real ESPN kickoff times instead of hardcoded day-of-week windows.

Shared Realtime refresh hook

New useRealtimeRefresh hook replaces per-component Supabase subscriptions with debounced batch updates, reducing re-renders across trades, standings, and bid windows.

Real-time row flash animations

Subtle slate-blue highlight animation when Realtime data changes, so you always know what just updated.
